Ability to comment desired for hive query files
-----------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-430
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-430
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Clients, Query Processor
Reporter: Adam Kramer
Priority: Minor
It is, in many cases, quite useful to write a query, save it in a file, and
"run" the file with hive -f filename. However, as time passes and many such
files are written, it becomes unclear why I did things the way I did--the
solution for most code is to comment the code, and I would love to be able to
comment hive code in .sql/.hql files or queries.
Standard SQL comment structure is anything following a non-escaped non-quoted
"-- " or "#" on a single line should cause the rest of the line to be ignored.
I would love to have this in hive...both in the CLI (for when I paste a query
in) and in the hive -f file reader option. C-style // and /* */ commenting
would be great too, but only because I'm lazy.
